Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The median lethal dose of Hostanox SE 10 (LD50) was greater than 15000 mg per kg body weight. Based on the result of this study the test item is not subject for labelling and classification requirements according to regulatory requirements.
Executive summary:

Hostanox SE 10 was tested for its acute toxic properties in female rat via oral route. No animal died or showed clinical symptoms/macroscopic anomalies after application of 15000 mg/kg bw.

Therefore, the median lethal dose of Hostanox SE 10 (LD50) was greater than 15000 mg per kg body weight. Based on the result of this study the test item is not subject for labelling and classification requirements according to regulatory requirements.
